First, I want to thank everyone who has written or who have PM’ed me. I am very greatful, and it is so helpful to have a place to vent.

I really don’t know what to attribute the depression to, other than D’s trouble dealing with change/transitions. She gets along well with her roomate and she does have a nice group of friends.
I get the feeling that even though she knows logically that she can’t yet be as close these new friends as she is with her HS friends, that this still bothers her.

I think it would almost be easier if there were a specific stressor that could be dealt with, but I think it’s more of a reflection of her trouble dealing with new situations. I am going to mention all this to her councelor, and I hope she will be able to suggest ways of dealing with this to my D.
Of course, the main thing is to find the right antidepressant so my D can even begin to deal with this.
